What made my mentoring experience meaningful was watching the students learn and achieve as a team. They used my support and guidance as a foundation to build on, and it was wonderful to see the ideas, the trust they formed as a team, and their many accomplishments by the end of the program. I was honoured to be a part of it!

The experience has been very valuable to me. I really enjoyed working together with the students to solve one of the very most important problems that we are currently facing around the world. The program was very well articulated and the talks and lectures were very informative.

I loved collaborating in the Metaverse. I also enjoyed meeting [and] getting to know the students and pushing their limits to gain valuable skills that they can hopefully take into the workplace with them one day.

I interacted with a group of very creative individuals that truly worked as a team. I may even recruit one of them for my own organization!
